Danny Kingman is used to fending for himself. Working nonstop as an ER nurse to pay for his mother's care, he's been putting his own life on hold since he can remember. But when an unbelievably hot, strangely intense man saves him from a mugging, Danny has a feeling everything is about to change. Especially when that man suddenly pops out a pair of fangs.
Roman Mourier has been wandering aimlessly for decades, waiting for the inevitable day when the last of his humanity leaves him, and the demon inside him takes permanent control. He doesn't believe in fated mates, or the myth that there's a soul out there that could tether his humanity to him. Until he feels a strange pull to the lovely young man at the hospital, and hope stirs in him for the first time.
But Roman has demons other than just the one inside him. Is he strong enough to keep Danny safe from the past that haunts him? He knows one thing for sure: now that he's found his mate, he will do anything to keep him.
Roman
Roman by Grae Bryan hits a sweet spot in gay romance. Danny's dedication to his mom and tough life adds a solid layer to his character. Roman, on the other hand, brings a darker vibe, but there's more to him than just the surface.
Their connection grows naturally, with the fated-mates aspect adding urgency to their relationship. The mix of supernatural elements with everyday struggles gives the book a unique twist, and the characters' challenges make for a believable story. A smooth blend of emotion and action, delivering a story with an edge that's also easy to read.
Roman is a heated, fated-mates MM paranormal romance with an HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains insta-obsession, a cinnamon roll of an ER nurse, and the possessive vampire determined to keep him. It also contains steamy scenes between two men, and the moderate violence (and mentions of blood) that one might expect from a vampire romance. Not suitable for readers under 18.
